Does Your 2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Vanden Plas bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas in for suspension and steering service. We can pinpoint the source of the trouble.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Vanden Plas steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Jaguar Vanden Plas Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Jaguar up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or rocking back and forth can all point to issues with your Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks and struts. One of your best bets is to have your 2008 Jaguar Vanden Plas suspension shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2008 Vanden Plas Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Vanden Plas's steering and suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Jaguar Vanden Plas? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Jaguar Vanden Plas power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Vanden Plas is low on power steering fluid, we’ll follow Jaguar service specifications when topping it off to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why is my Jaguar Vanden Plas bouncing excessively? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Vanden Plas's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Vanden Plas combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How do I know if I have worn Jaguar Vanden Plas shocks? Worn Vanden Plas shock absorbers can cause your vehicle to feel like it's bouncing or hopping over bumps instead of absorbing the impacts smoothly. You may also experience more body roll when turning.
